Abstract

An automatic text inputting method and a system inputs text from multiple pages such as in a book by automatically turning pages, optically converting text image on each page into character data and determining an end of a specified unit of text. For example, the specified unit of text includes an article in a magazine and a chapter in a book. Additionally, in a selected group of text, a representative word is also automatically selected.
